Interesting take but I find the RISC argument to be completely flawed in light of ARM/M1. Even accepting the distinction (which I don't agree with) between "non RISC-y" ARM (v7 and earlier) and "RISC-y" (v8 and

Interesting, you're right, I see 3 occurrences for "lambda" and 26 for "kubernetes". It's probably just the paritcular "bubble" I live in.

In my particular market sector it seems everyone is using some form of cloud functions (SAM, Serverless Framework etc), and migrating away from K8S/containers. Regarding PaaS stuff like Heroku, the only people I know that are still usi

This is one shortcoming of having your own domain. If you let it expire, there is nothing preventing someone else from recycling email addresses. On the other hand, having your own domain gives you many advantages, including not having to f

I think the last two paragraphs, which I quoted below, sum up exactly something that has been on my mind for a while now. Somehow, while we were all busy debating for or against this or that political view, we, common people, lost control o

Nice! Do you know if/when it's going to be merged, and if this is the same as the PR linked in this other comment? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31422001

Thanks, I have used Scribus for DTP jobs in the past and it's good for that type of workload, maybe though it's a bit overkill for what I need (just converting assets created in other SW to CMYK, so that I can send them to print)

EDIT: I just tested importing a few different image formats and didn't have any issues, so Krita could be a good alternative. Thanks, I was aware that Krita could do CMYK but how about importing assets created in other programs? Can it

Does anyone know about CMYK support? I remember years ago it was a planned feature, but recently I tried to gather info about it and could not find anything. Has the team decided to remove it from scope? Currently I know of Cyan[1] as an op

Cyberdecks are more about the freedom of selecting exactly the hardware components you want (in the same way you can when you build a desktop computer)[0] so I don't think an average laptop would do the job. For example, this cyberdeck

I was using Scribus for multi page documents but, as a fully fledged DTP solution, it is often overkill, I'm glad I can now use Inkscape for smaller jobs, thanks to the new Page tool. Inkscape is truly the Swiss Army knife of the open

Replying to myself: in striking arts, one great solution is promoting a culture where light sparring (e.g. Thai style sparring) is preferred to hard sparring (e.g. Dutch style sparring). In most combat sports, competition is not that freque

Yeah, thank you I get it now, I knew that concept under a different name, "indirect democracy". I guess in the USA, because of your history, you don't have a lot of debates around the pros and cons of monarchy and so the othe

Thanks for the background info about the founding fathers. Growing up in Europe I only ever heard of the definition of republicanism as being opposed to monarchism. I guess the other meaning is specifically American, in the same way that &q

The problem is that out of this concern, some martial arts disallowed head blows in competition, only to fall out of grace due to how "unrealistic" they are in terms of self defence. A large number of people who start practising m

I grew up learning that "republicanism" means that you are opposed to the monarchy so I'm really confused by your comment. It seems that you are using the term "republic" as an equivalent of "pluralism" or
